Works for me with an updated TeXLive, w/ and w/o linebreaker (sadly, linebreaker doesn‘t identify itself).

[hpvd]

hmmm interesting. Thanks for this fast testing.

What do you mean with

(sadly, linebreaker doesn‘t identify itself). ?

there are some thoughts on visual highlighting some things... https://github.com/michal-h21/linebreaker/issues/5

[hpvd]

Updating Amiri to latest release directly from https://github.com/aliftype/amiri/releases instead of downloaded from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Amiri doesn't help on my site

[u-fischer]

it works for me in miktex. The amiri font used is the one which comes with miktex: /MiKTeX/fonts/truetype/public/amiri/amiri-regular.ttf

[hpvd]

many thanks for testing!

Investigated a little further:

• after the first run (in fresh folder) everything looks fine on my side too
• after the second run, it's broken

see:

[hpvd]

(uploaded screenshot changed)

-> could you reproduce this?

(I'm using the same font path of amiri as described by @u-fischer)

[u-fischer]

No I can't reproduce it. Also you are not compiling the example you posted. Your screenshot shows a sans serif font.

[hpvd]

sorry!

changed

• font for test and
• fixed option to \documentclass[a4paper]{book}

not sure from which CnP the \par in the acrabic part is coming from... removing it, there is no arabic part visible anymore...

[hpvd]

If it works on your site, it's fine. So something in my installation is messed up....

[hpvd]

is this fine?

I’m closing this issue because it cannot be reproduced. As to the message, it’s harmless, I think, because Arabic is not hyphenated. It’s not shown in TeXLive, and perhaps there is misconfiguration in MikTeX (which is loading a bblopts.cfg almost 20 years old!).
